Hi!

Since I'm an absolute beginner in vMix, I would like to know:
- if and how can I insert two tickers on top of each other(e.g.:
Ticker 1 [Best Stocks: 1.... 2..... 3....]
Ticker 2 [Worst Stocks: 1.... 2.... 3....] );
- if the speed of the content of the tickers can be adjusted invidually(e.g. text for the 1st ticker will run at a speed of 25, and the 2nd will run at a speed of 30 or greater);
- if the ticker content can be read from a file and how can I do that and please let me know what is the maximum size/characters that can be displayed/read in a ticker.

Thank you.

Add a title, select a ticker. make your settings
Repeat the same again for the second ticker
use the overlays to display them. Overlay 4 is the top most layer.

Hi!
Thank you @mavik! Your answer helped me!

I ended by using GT Designer to do what I wanted.
However I run into a small problem. When the text is shorter than the length of the ticker it takes a while until the text is displayed again.
Can the text be repeated automatically when reached the end of the text/line?
Example: Ticker 1 Text: Best Stocks: AAPL, AMZN, TSLA, NVDA. (After ending, this line should repeat automatically without any delays.)
Ticker 2 Text: Worst Stocks: NCLH, DO, CCL, RCL, NBL, ADS, HAL, APA, MRO,

Thank you.

Sure if the data comes from a data source that is set to automatically advance to the next row ( and set proper time delay)
Ticker type has to be set to add

@doggy: I entered the text in a separate .txt file, one file per ticker. Everything is read from those files.
Settings in Data Source:
Data Source: xyz.txt;
Table: Text;
Column: Text;
Row: Selected;
Format: {0}

In Title Editor I clicked on clock icon and changed the settings:
Speed: 1
Direction: Left
Type: Add

I reloaded my tickers to see the result. However, I noticed that the Ticker 1 Text text isn't repeated automatically.

Thank you.

@doggy: nope. I will look into it tomorrow.
These kind of problems occurs when you are a beginner and you don't know how the software works.

Anyway thank you for your time and your help.

We understand

please make sure you read the helpfiles (search for tickers)
There are more videos on the same channel as the previously posted video

you are combining a few things here

Titles ( specifiaclly tickers)
Data for the titles be it directly edited or using datasources

would advice to play with a ticker by manually changing ticker content (title editor) to get an understanding of the ticker when what does when

Hi!

After some trial and error I figured out a workaround/solution to my problem.
So, the solution was to add one more time the text in the file and then reload it into vMix's ticker.
Below are my settings:

Data Source:
Data Source: xyz.txt;
Table: Text;
Column: Text;
Row: Selected;
Format: {0}

Title Editor:
Speed: 1
Direction: Left
Type: changed from Add to Replace

Data Sources Manager:
Auto (button): Activated(Green)
Auto (time): 5 seconds
Loop (button): Activated(Green)
Update data every: 1000 Milliseconds


Thank you.
